Well the topic is about the Desire and how to get it but I was not sure which forum to put it in so posted it here.
Well my Brother is moving to London for 2 years. Now he has his N95 (unlocked) which he would like to continue using as he has his paid apps installed on it and stuff.
Now he's getting a HTC Desire on contract. So If he uses the Contract Sim in his N95 and sends back the Desire to me here in India, I could unlock it and use it with any data carrier here in India right?
Yes you could unlock / debrand the Desire and use it on another network.

This reminds me of one of those Nigeria scams

you will be able to use it no probs in india, you may want to check with the network you use in india and make sure that they use a compatible 3g band if that is important to you
Bhai sab fit! It will defo work. What Network is your Bro on?

He will be either on T Mobile or Vodafone
The network won't care right even if he's using his contract sim in his other unlocked phone?

Thanks a lot
Well I use vodafone here and as of yet there is no 3G so it might not make a differrnce. Any idea what 3G band is used in India though?

Oh and one more thing.
Some guy on tech enclave was saying that if you unlock your phone using the unlock code the phone will once again get locked after I update my phone software to Froyo.
Is that true? I thought this only happened in iPhones? If it's true what are my alternative means of unlocking?
Thank you everyone
Simply re use the same unlock code you originally used to unlock the phone and you'll be fine.

That would work right? Or will they not let you re use the same code?
It worked for me when my phone was re locked after debranding, its worked for others on here too.

Could you tell me what site you or others used for unlocking the phone from which you could re use the key?
Anyone know How much would it cost in customs to get a Desire from the UK to India?
Hey guys,

Hi guys,
Anyone has any ideas about this?

Try telling us
Which country
What area
What Telco
Then maybe someone in the same locations or with the same telco will answer you
I am in Australia and with Vodafone and MY reasons for loss of 3G would not concur with yours
Singapore on telco starhub.

Hello,
I'm new to this as my post counter suggest. I just bought a used Telus HTC Desire, I'm new to using Android device as well. I was wondering if I need to root the Desire to obtain 3G from Rogers. I tried using the APN from this thread but it still never showed up on the top notification bar. I'm not entirely sure what to do.
Thank you very much for reading this, I hope to have a reply soon.
Sincerely,
Steven K.
No just unlock and type in the apn. Rogers bell TELUS virgin etc use the same networks.

I did, and already seen that. I bought my phone in Thailand when it was completely new. I.e they imported it. So they could have gotten it from anywhere, including America.
And that leaves me back to still not know which model I have. Any other suggestions ?

try looking in settings/about phone. also turn off ur phone then hold volume down + power and that will bring up ur bootloader, more info there.

Pull the battery and look for the model number, ie: HTC Desire A818x
A8181 900/2100
A8182 850/1900
A8183 850/2100
Hi everybody! I'm about to make an exchange between my S5 and a Htc One M8 with someone online. I buy my S5 with a carrier so the phone is register on my name. The guy want me to send my imei to check if the phone is not blacklisted. It is okay to give him or its dangerous?
Thank you

I wouldnt trust anyone online sending the imei. If he wants to find out then you guys should meet up at the carrier store then ask to run the imei status with the associate. Should be vice versa about the M8.
