[Q] Sim Unlock - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to free sim unlock my HTC Wildfire?

Mabye
Well my brother has a ZTE Racer and found a website via google that makes your phone sim free for free (lol) but i dunno if theres a site like it for htc mobiles

HTC wildfire
Hope someone can help!
I got my brother in law htc wildfire.
And got a code to open it up to any network.
We got the code from an internet site called GSMliberty, the code has worked to a degree.
It receives calls and can make them, the time is right, and the internet works over wi-fi of course.
But it will not connect to the internet on its own ie 3g.
The phone was locked to 3 and I have tried 2 different sim cards in, orange and t-mobile, both have unlimited data plans.
I have changed the apn setting to match each network/carrier and all I get is connection failed.
I have called and emailed the code people who say it is down to the data set up.
I have been in touch with t-mobile his the network/carrier he wants and they have talked us through it, as have htc help centre but to no avail.
However if we put a 3 sim back in, it connects to the internet, swap it back and change the internet setting to the network required and won't work.
Does anyone have any ideas or help?
It has not been rooted or messed with, just the unlock code.
Kindest regards

HELP!!! - hw6920 - IMEI not found

Hello, I am new here...
Help!!!,
I've bought a Cingular hw6920 and I would like to use it when I travel, with local SIM cards.
The phone is obviously locked and when I try to use another SIM, it shows the message "Network is locked, please input unlock code".
Since I have a Cingular account, I've asked for the code, but after sending them the IMEI (correct), they have replied that they cannot find it!
Same thing happened when I've tried to get the code through one of the pay services.
Any suggestion? I can't return or exchange the phone since I left it to my brother in Europe.
The phone has never been turned on in the US with a Cingular SIM, could this be the problem?
Thanks

Someone help a newb out? O2 Cocoon...

I apologize if I'm posting in the wrong place; but I've gone just about everywhere else looking for help...
I'm in the USA; and I've got an O2 Cocoon - I'm trying to find out if it's got a simlock on it, or if it's just messed up.
The major problem is that it absolutely refuses to make or accept calls, texts, mms... anything.
The phone is set up for my network (Unicel) with what I'm reasonably sure are the correct settings. It gets bars of signal, and when I search for available networks, it finds a 2G Vstream. When I have new voicemail; the new message icon even displays on the Cocoon, and after switching the sim to a phone that does work & checking the voicemail, the new message icon on the Cocoon goes away.
It constantly displays "SOS Call Only" underneath the signal bars; even though it's usually getting 3-5 bars of signal, and whenever I try to connect to the 2G Vstream that it sees in Network Connections, or make a call / send a text; it says "Network Failure".
Does anyone think the phone might actually be simlocked, even though it's not asking for a subsidy code or anything? If so; how do I access the area of the phones software where I can input an unlock code once I buy one?
I'd really like to get this phone working; however I don't want to spend the $40 on an unlock code for the thing if I'm not even sure that it's going to solve my problem.
I work for o2 mate, its locked to network you should be able to unlock though

Sweet! That's exactly the type of answer I've been looking for. I've been shooting emails back & forth with O2 support; the one I most recently sent them I straight out asked for the code & explained my situation - if they don't give it to me in their reply, I'll just buy one now.
Chris, Do you know the sequence / code whatever that I have to enter in order to get to where the phone asks for the code?
My only experience with unlocking is a couple of Motorola Razrs; and those won't let you do anything at all with a different sim if they're locked - they just prompt you on startup.
Hopefully deblocage-htc.com 's turnaround time to send the code to me is fast; I can't wait to start using this phone... it's so, awesome.
OK; so after sending deblocage-htc.com about 3 emails asking them how to enter the subsidy code on this phone; they finally responded with one that wasn't an advertisement -
"Dear Sir,
Your phone must ask to enter the Unlocking Code just after entering the PIN Code of your SIM Card"
The phone isn't asking me to enter the subsidy code after I enter my Sim Pin. Lot of good buying an unlock code is going to do me if no one seems to know how to enter the code into the phone
EDIT: Wait, does that mean I just enter the unlock code directly from the home screen of the phone, then?
want to help mate but the info I have is that if you enter a non o2 sim will ask for the code
02 cocoon start up only
hi mates i have 02 cocoon here. the problem is when i turn it on only star up continuesly not booting.
how can i program this or hard reset?
pls help me.tia.............
The phone is definitely not locked. It works just fine with an AT&T simcard borrowed from a friend, but does not work with a Unicel sim. It doesn't prompt me to enter a subsidy/unlock code when I turn it on.
I thought it might not be compatible with GSM 850, because we only get 850 where I live - but when I'm roaming in NY or PA or anywhere in between, and there's loads of 1900 signal as well, it still doesn't work with my Unicel simcard. The phone sees bars of signal, and it knows when I have a missed call or a new text message; but it won't let me call out or receive calls or text messages or do anything useful like that.

Unlock At&T Tilt for Optus or other Australian Provider

Hi All, I have taken my At&T Tilt to Australia. AT&T provided the unlock code which seems to have worked. Seems is the operative word. I can make and receive domestic and interntional calls. I can send and receive domestic text. I can connect to networks via Wi-Fi. However, what does not work is the data connection to the Optus/ Virgin network, despite me manually configuring the set up per instructions for the TyTn II I was given. It does not make or receive domestic or international MMS. It does not make or receive international text. I inserted the SIM card into another WM6 smart phone, Australian edition of the HTC diamond, and it was able to connect to the internet via the cell phone network. So it is not the SIM card. I have tried some configuration changes without effect. HTC says it is a ROM issue. I would like additional opinions and of course, any fixes. The phone beats all other phones, including the iPhone for my needs so I want to keep it. Thank you.

Maybe it is the radio! Read through the radio thread in the kaiser section and if you can, contact your provider to see what radio they use for their stock ROM and flash that radio or the closest one! read the thread all the way through to see if anyone else is in your area and what radio they are using! Hopefully that helps!
Edit:Here you go click this link...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393182&page=5
First post is from a guy in your part of the word! Try the radio he lists or if you have to, maybe you can PM him! Hope you get it working, I would go nuts without my data working! You can PM me as well if you have any more questions!

Could be a proxy issue etc. Internation text/calls would be subject to having international 'access' provided by Optus. maybe register and check out HTC club for any ROM specific to Optus?

Good man! Thanks for jumping in on this! I feel bad for this guy!
Thanks for your help. I appreciate it. I have checked the thread and see information on the radios. I am a mere neophtye when it comes to radios. Where can I find the radio's mentioned and then how do I install them?
Thanks.

[Q] T-Mobile G2 on AU - Vodafone

Hi everyone,
i recently picked up a G2 on a US trip and am currently trying to set it up to work on the AU vodafone network.
i have gone through the sim "unlock" process, so it should be free to accept any sim card. (it also doesnt prompt me for an unlock code anymore, so im assuming it worked)
when i put the vodafone sim card in the phone, it detects the sim (there is the sim folder in the menu, with the vodafone sim options) and when i use "*#*#4636#*#* i see that there is something in the signal strength (-97dBm 8 asu).
BUT
when i goto settings ->wireless & networks -> mobile networks -> network operators i get an error saying "error while searching for networks"
any ideas?
Shouldn't this be in the G2 forum, not the DZ one ?
Thread moved to G2 General.
I am very interested to know how everything works out for you when you get it resolved.
Im moving to Melbourne from San Francisco in 3 weeks and I am on the fence if I should get a Iphone 4 or a HTC g2
*currently own a HTC Evo ..sadly i have to sell it

welcome to the club my friend
Unfortunately we have the same issue as you but we haven't find a solution yet. So far i have figured out that the phone after unlocking cannot read properly CID and MNCMCC codes from sim.

jee... sounds like the club to be in
5 days now i am trying for a solution. So far nothing to say. Just that users with same problem increase day by day. This might be good as htc will have to pay attention.
i dont know if its me, or if anyone else has noticed this, but if you change the band (auto - USA - Euro - Japan - Aus - Aus2)
then go and try to search for networks, the speed that the error comes up is different... its always the same error though....

You are right about that.
hi, i guess i need to join this club .. any progress for the solution?
I'm using a G2 on Vodafone AU and having no problems at all ...
If I click search networks it sort of just stops immediately with VodafoneAU down the bottom.
The one issue I'm having is that numbers are formatted for US ... anyone know how I change this?
I'm not sure if this is a real long-shot but I had some strange problems with my old Vodafone sim in a HTC Magic. I ended up just going into a Vodafone store and asking for a new SIM and the problems vanished immediately. They give you a new SIM on the spot free so it may be worth a try?
Is your phone working unlocked with the tmobile sim? If it isn't you're got the problem a lot of people have been having with unlocking the G2.
Otherwise, try rebooting your phone with your AU sim search for networks automatically and enter your APN settings. Alternatively if it doesnt find networks, go to Vodafone to get a new sim card. I'm also on Vodafone and I'm not having any problems with my current Tmobile Phone (Cliq) and G2 coming in the mail
Fixed by rooting and gfree
Hi! I had this exact same problem: unlocked a T-mobile G2 bought in the US so that I could use it on Greece's Vodaphone network. After unlocking and trying to check for networks, it would just say "Error while searching for networks".
Solution: I found the solution here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Subsidy_Unlock.2C_SuperCID.2C_and_Radio_S-OFF which describes an extra security measure that was taken on these phones and why you get this error because of it. The fix, described in detail on that page, involves routing your phone and then running a program to change this security "feature".
I followed the directions on that wiki page and it worked perfectly! It now connects to my vodaphone network here, and can see other networks that are around.
Note that as this is altering the software on your phone, it probably voids any warranty. But, I'll say with my US t-mobile G2 it worked very smoothly.
Hope this gives some insight to any others having this problem!

[Q] ROGERS I747M. Rooted. Travelling in US, NO CONNECTION.

Hey xda-dev.
I recently rooted my phone and did a carrier unlock through the dial code method.
I'm currently in the US travelling, and even though I paid for a unlimited text/call US and Canada, I get a "EMERGENCY CALLS ONLY" and now, there's just a circle with a line through it at the top where the signal bars should be.
I will be in the US for another 4 days or so, and I need a way to get my phone to start working because I need to get ahold of friends and people at home while I'm travelling.
Is there any way to reset to default on the service menu? What is wrong with this even? I have no idea how to troubleshoot this whatsoever.
There is nothing wrong with your phone. Who is your carrier? It's probably the fact your carrier does not have any roaming agreement in place where you are.

You'd have to allow roaming. You can call Rogers about it, one thing though, unlimited text/call US & Canada can mean from your city. Once in the US, you're not on Rogers towers anymore, therefor, you get roaming fees.

It's not your service, It's your phone. I noticed this the other day when I went to the states too, but I forgot to make sure that I automatically roamed to the right network.
Try this.... Go to Settings -> More Settings -> Mobile Networks -> Network Operators | Searching | -> Automatic
As soon as you go into the Network Ops it will start to search to see what's available around you. Make sure after you've searched its set to Automatic. That way when you are out and about, It will go to whatever network the sim card is in your phone it will choose that one first, but if it can't find that one it will go to the next best thing.
I did the same thing myself when I moved to Vegas for 2 months... I unlocked my sim and put in a T-Mobile card in...
If that doesn't solve the problem, then your phone wasn't unlocked fully. Reason why I say this is I work for Rogers/Fido and have seen this issue a few times other than doing it personally myself.
