Hi guys. sorry if this has been posted already however i am in a rush
i was wondering if custom roms network unlock the htc desire as i am interested in buying one but it could be locked to a network i dont use. if a custom rom network unlocks i will buy it, if not then i will pass. please reply fast
no, a custom rom may remove operator branding and software but it will not unlock the phone to be used with any sim card. To do that you will need to purchase an unlock code from your network or a third party website, which typically costs between £15-25
oh and searching google would have given you your answer even faster, as a test, I asked google "will a custom rom unlock desire?" and had the answer returned within 0.18 seconds
Stuff like this should go in the Q&A section, also posting "please fast reply" is very annoying...
1. i googled it and it did tell me what u told me however i didnt know if there were other ways
2. i only asked for fast reply as i was on my way to a dealer before they shut and would have no network access on my phone as i was going to trade it in.
i wasnt meaning to offend. thanks for the help
I found this SIM unlock on eBay and was wondering if anyone has figured out how to do it themselves without paying. Thanks

use the search button there are already like 4 threads on this topic of unlocking via USB.
So you have to either pay or call Tmobile? I see your post here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1890254&highlight=sim+unlock
has anyone tried this unlock method?

Hello,
I've bought an unlcoked Galaxy Nexus about 6 months ago, and everything worked perfectly.. until now.
Recently, I've had problems regarding the SIM Unlock PIN.
When I turn on my device, it requires a code.
I can choose to ignore that message and use my phone in any other way but using mobile network (can't text or call).
From what I understand, my phone has been locked to a specific network and I need to get the code to unlock it.
But I have no idea which network my phone is locked to..
Is there any way to find out?
Also, this has happend before, and I, who don't know what to do with it, took it to a guy who fixed it for me (He changed the Android version and did whatever he did.. I have no idea.)
Last night my phone ran out of battery, and today when I charged and opened it, it was locked again.
I don't know what caused it.
Is there any way to remove it permanently?
If not, can anyone help me remove it temporarily without paying too much money to websites I don't trust (Which require to know the network my phone is locked to, by the way...)?
My friend said that when the Android version changes, so does the code.
My currently Android version is 4.1.1 and I can choose to update it. Would it help?
Thank you, to whoever is willing to try and help me.
Is your phone have a GSM sim card??
Yes, I do.
Help anyone..?
I followed all the steps that I could and am still unable to unlock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024514
my phone is originally kodoo (t989d)
The owner that gave me the phone claimed that it was unlocked but I am uncertain and am on the pessimistic edge of whether that is true or not. When I insert a SIM while the phone is off and then turn the phone on it does not ask me for an unlocked code, and never has even after starting up and using the phone, but the notificationas area gives me the message that 'network locked sim card inserted' .
Everything up to the point where I have to enter the #???# code works fine but when i input that code nothing happens ever, no menu opens up or anything. when I press call it says 'not registered on network.
The radio I have is t989uvle1 and the kernel is 3.0.8-perft989dtllg2.......
Honest to god I have been searching the forums since 12am (now 8 hours) and am just completely lost. I dislike posting like this because I have to wait for replies but in this case I really cannot find anything.
I have read recommendations of flashing a tmobile rom or changing the kernel or something but am really clueless on how to do this and have tried flashing random 4.1+ roms to no avail. can anyone shed some light and set my in a right (and very specific) direction. what the heck is going on???
Are you able to make phone calls with the new SIM card?

Someone answered this in the other thread you copy pasted this to.
You need to have an ics rom and stock radio. Or something like that.

the SIM it's new, got it 2 weeks ago with another new phone i bought from metropcs, but do you know what that error means or something ? because i've seen different ones, like MM#6 & MM#4
Is the phone blacklisted?
Not a clue on the error. Never seen anyone else report one like that before.
the phone it's not blacklisted, everything it's clean

I'm in Canada and I use this website to check for black lists: http://www.protectyourdata.ca/check-the-status-of-your-device-in-canada/
If you want, could input your imei as another check.
I see Metro PCS uses AWS bands which the i747 and i747m does not natively support (http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/1498...-network-frequencies-and-phone-compatibility/).
