Rooting a phone is not related to removing the CID-lock. You can remove the CID-lock by using an XTC-clip or by requesting a unlock code from your provider (there are also websites that offer this code for a fee - it is based of your phone's IMEI number).

Has anyone had any luck unlocking this phone from T-Mobile USA? A few websites that I've asked for codes from don't have the unlock codes yet. I'm trying to deal with T-Mobile but that is a slow go. Any other suggestions to unlock this?

Mine was locked to Three.
Using the XTC Clip both rooted my phone AND unlocked it. Just got back from using it on Albania Vodafone

Unlock Telus HTC TP2

Hi !
I will be travelling to europe and i would like to unlock my HTC Touch pro 2 to be able to use it with the local provider (the price of using the Telus simcard is enormous !!!)
so....
I know that such unlocking software exists, and i allready used one of the websites (i can't remember the name) where you give your IMEI and someone reply to you with the appropriate unlock code for your particular device
I don't know if it is feasible with the htc touch pro 2 ????
Could somebody help me
Thanks in advance !
Unlocked TP2
I have unlocked mine successfully and if you search PPCGeeks there are several threads there discussing it. I tested mine with a friends SIM from Rogers and it worked like a charm. I bought my unlock code from glowbearunlocks4u on eBay for $13.00 US, so check there.
Here is my question. Can you still use your TELUS number once you unlock the phone.
I tried to put the telus sim into a unlocked phone and it didnt work so (Bummer)... I want to use the GSM but still want the CDMA... very important in my situation...
let me know thanks.

Free Unlock HTC Wildfire?

Hi guys,
I plan to buy a HTC Wildfire for my brother but unfortunately, the phone is Network Locked.
Is there any change we have a program or something that would unlock it for free?
I really don't trust the sites a la : www.unlockyourphone.com ... and Vodafone won't unlock it for free.
Thanks and really looking for an answer.
Best Regards,
DH
I bought mine from Vodafone and they unlocked it for free, on the spot. I did not extend my contract with them, I just bought the phone.
P.S: I`m from Romania.

If u are in the uk, get it from somewhere like carphone (all their phones are unlocked and debranded) or sim free from expansys
Did you manage to unlock your phone? I also have a Vodafone romania locked wildfire and don't know what to do about it. Thanks.

You'll have to pay.
I used htccode. No problems.

Complete lie. Both the HTC Desire and the HTC Desire Z can be sim unlocked for free.
Its a shame noone has dedicated some time as there problably is a free way for the Wildfire as well.
We need a version for wildfire
there is a tool "Universal sim unlock for S-off’ed HTC devices" but it doesn't work for wildfire, maybe a hope for the next future, look at sieempi dot eu blog
Doesn't the HTC dev website give you an unlock code for free?

as far as i know htc dev will only allow for custom roms to be used and custom recovery to be put on. will not remove sim lock, carriers would go nuts if it did.
Yes it says in the frequently asked questions that radio and sim lock are still locked and it will still say s on, sim lock is a carrier issue if they unlocked it carriers would kick off as they wouldn't be able to use they're branding effectively.
And radio still being locked might cause problems for cm7 users.

I heard that you could call your carrier to give you the code to unlock your phone, but 3 wouldn't do it unless the phone was on another network and I was joining them. I'm on o2 and wanted to remove 3'a Sim lock, but no joy. could have tried my carrier to.

i went to a phone unlocking shop and they did it there and then for a tenner. also, if you can get your hands on a xtc clip you can s-off and remove sim lock

HTC Desire sim unlock

Hello guys!
Has anybody news with subject?
I have bought a sim-locked phone recently and don't know, what to do with it
Please, share your experience if you have.
There are many trusted websites for unlocking your desire. Find one and check its valid. If it is they ask four your imei and some money. After a while you get your unlock code. You put the sin that the desire doesn't support in your phone and it will ask for an unlock code. Input your code and your done

Avoid the websites. I had nothing but grief with them. Simply ring the phone operator that the phone is locked to and request an unlock code. in the UK they have to give you this but will charge around £15. This is what I did with my locked to "3" Desire. Now unlocked after a 5 minute call.

I bought a desire from ebay which is unlocked (as the seller said), using an unlock code calling the operator (o3). I don't have the unlock code. Is there any possibility to be locked again after wipe?

[Q] please HELP!

I have recently bought an Xperia Play from a fellow XDAer through marketplace and the phone was locked to UK Virgin Mobile therefore I purchased an unlock code online so I can use my own gsm card. Problem is, after 2 and a bit more weeks when I received my unlock code it didn't work..After research I realised that my phone was Hard Locked due to many incorrect unlocking attempts. Anyone that can help me from here? How can I remove this Hard Lock? is the phone useless to me now?
Hi m8,
How many times did you enter the unlock code? are you 100% sure the code was genuine? where did you get the code from?
I'm not sure if a sim unlock could help?
And just to confirm, the Play you bought from me was working fine but was just locked to Virgin Mobile so you ordered an unlock code to unlock it for all networks?

[Q] Sim Unlock SGH-T989D

Hey guys,
Sorry if this question has been asked over and over already. I tried searching but cant seem to find a definite answer.
Is there a way to SIM Unlock the TELUS SGH-T989D? I already tried the unlockers on the market, including the ones that need Root, but they arent working.
Any help is appreciated
Thanks in advance.
PS. For Telus S2X owners, how did you sim unlock your phone? (which website did you use to get unlock code)
i know that the t-mobile version which i think is in the same boat, needs an unlock code that you have to get from your carrier or a website. I used a unlocked website cellunlock.net and use the discount code android50.
i also did my research and this was the only answer i could find
Obviously you simply need a unlocking code to unlock this phone. I unlocked it on the spot from a phone store that was not from telus but all he did was that he made a phone call to request for a code.
AT&T skyrocket phone users have trouble unlocking their phones because AT&T claims that their phones are specifically designed for their carrier only which I think is probably untrue.
Anyway, I did unlock my LG G2X using a site called unlockthatphone.com at $15. Try that site. Also, I think it is a good idea to call Telus as well directly.
Pickup the phone dial 611. Ask t-mobile.. Tell them your going somewhere outside the country and you need unlock code.. It should arrive 3 to 7 days in your email you give them.

Thanks guys. I just went ahead and got the unlock code from a website for $20.
