Hi, can I assume that the Tmobile UK BL can't be unlocked until Tmobile release an update, which means that it will be a hell of a long time with there track record.
i'm on t-mobile uk and i can confirm that you can definitely unlock the bootloader.
i had already upgraded with the RUU gingerbread rom if that makes any difference?
but anyways, with the htc-dev unlock method, i think i chose their RUU that was called TMOUK or something similar (i assumed that it's some kind of abbreviation for t-mobile?). anyways, that worked for me, but failing that, i assume the HTC EUROPE RUU option would also work?
Thanks but have tried the tmouk and the latest Euro ruu, nothing seems to work.
which bit are you stuck on exactly?
have you tried making gold card?
how do u I unlock bootloader for T-Mobile USA GSM?
this is for USA T-Mobile

I called up t-mobile so I can unlock this dash and use it on cingular and it works fine now. My question is, is it also CID unlocked? I understand that it has to be app unlocked and cid unlocked for me to install the stock HTC rom on it.
Doesnt need to be app unlocked. Needs to be CID unlocked to flash a different ROM, also called super-cid. What yours is now is only sim unlocked, meaning it can work with another operator's sim card.
How would I CID unlock it or even find out if its cid locked?

The T-Mobile Dash comes CID locked out of the box (as do all carrier branded devices, and almost all unlocked devices). To install the stock HTC ROM, you'll need to CID unlock at a place like http://imei-check.co.uk/ for approximately $38.
FYI- with the recent release of WM 6 by T-Mobile, you probably want the WM 6 ROM over the HTC stock one, but hey- it takes all kinds, right?
Well im just asking because what if htc comes out with their wm6? I don't like the t-mobile branded everything haha. But yes I am enjoying the phone very much with wm6.

Thought I'd mention imei-check don't offer a CID unlock but a work around method to let you flash a different ROM. It involves hex editing both the nbf and the romupdateutility.exe among other things. Once the ROM is flashed when you put your sim in the device is locked (data crashed message about contacting your service provider) by their modified boot loader until you run imei-check's sim unlock utility again, which is why you need to pay the $38 for doing this.
Just curious, I have justs updated my Rom, and radio. I have a HTC branded rom, its a rom made by a member here. Just wondering if my phone would happen to be unlocked after this. I have a 8525 cingular, and I want to use it for Tmobile, so if it hasnt unlocked what program can i use to unlock it. Thanks
No it's still locked but you are SuperCID.
To unlock it you need to go here

how do i know if my phone is unlocked? other than actually putting in another sim card
Testing different sims is the only way to see if your unlocked. And I'm not sure that your even superCID...What did your do to be it?
never mind, i tested a t mobile sim, its not unlocked. Whats superCID, and does that have anythin to do with unlocking the SIM.
usaully there done together but don't have to be. here's a thread and many post about both:

I'm not sure why someone thinks you are SuperCID. It really doesn't matter much anymore if you CID unlock the phone (make it SuperCID) or not. If you have no reason to make it SuperCID, I guess I wouldn't. I have read (although never experienced) that some warranties have been voided that way. You can optionally select to unlock the CID when you run the unlocker.
(If the person who thought you were SuperCID based that on the fact that you flashed a new carrier's ROM, you can do that without CID unlocking. The CustomRUU updater bypasses the CID check now.)
I have a gsm usa t-mobel wildfire s pg76240. At this time the ruu is not listed on the htc dev web-sight. Its my understanding the bootloader is locked and there is no work arounds untill they update or release a ruu for this phone.
I have see a few post about people useing a different rom one there is a ruu for and unlocking the bootloader.
is this true. If say is it safe are there any chances of bringing the phone?
Thanks for reading my post
Hi, I'm on Tmobile UK and there is an RUU for my phone but it doesn't work, have also tried several others but no luck yet. Think might have to wait a long time for Tmobile to be so kind as to turn out an update,
As you can probably tell, this is my last contract with Tmobile.

Flash the latest euro ruu.
You will need to create a goldcard first.
Tried that too, still not working. What did you use?

Did you create a goldcard?
No, stupidly thought it would be an easy process when I read " HTC Unlock Wildfire S bootloader".
Might have to look at creating a gold card.
Thanks
what about phones with no ruu
Fairly certain I'm going to pick up a 10 once I find one for around $500. The only thing I'm worried about is the carrier version. I'm finding T-Mo ones for a hair cheaper, but I don't want to get locked into the stock ROM or some situation. If I get the T-Mo branded 10, is it going to be like my M8 where I can flash any Unlocked/International ROM on it after root/TWRP/S-Off/Bootloader unlock?
Yes must change CID to super CID or unlocked CID. Then you can flash the unlocked USA Rom. Follow the tutorial in the forum. I have done this with the tmob variant and am running the ruu from the HTC dev site. Hope this helps.
Im not sure i understand everything perfectly. I have just got my HTC10 from tmobile, so its a tmobile us branded htc 10. Unlocked bootloader, S-off'd and did some other crap. Clearly tmobile is lagging on firmware releases. So my question is, can any firmware be flashed on my device now?(like the RUUs on htcdev.com)? Say for specific example, the unlocked/developer RUU? Im sure i would have to write supercid, but other than that, is this a common practice to flash firmware not from the carrier on carrier-branded devices? Will this mess anything up? Thanks
If the "some other crap" that you did was change the cid and mid to match the US unlocked HTC 10 then yes, you can flash the US unlocked RUU. For any RUU you want to flash, make sure the CID and MID match that RUU or it'll give an error. Don't use super CID.. Use the correct CID/MID for the RUU. It won't mess anything up.. You'll still have your Wi-Fi calling and VoLTE with T-Mobile. Enjoy the updated software once you're done.
