[Q] Best way to unlock Desire HD

Hi, I need to unlock a T-Mobile DHD that I've just bought. I have read the previous posts on here, but I'm wondering if paying 15 Euro for a manufacturer unlock code from htccodes.com would be the least hassle way to SIM unlock my DHD?
Still not quite sure of the alternative. Which part of the process removes the SIM lock; flashing the radio? If I pay for a manufacturer code, I take it that installing a custom ROM wont enable the SIM lock back?
Sorry for the dumb questions. Thanks.

Use my radio tool (link in sig). It can SimUnlock your phone, for free
If you do the simunlock, it will stick, nothing will lock your phone again.

@jkoljo Thanks very much. I'm actually getting the phone tomorrow, so I'll give it a go and no doubt be back on here asking more questions

So the S-OFF tool sim unlock the phone in the process, or is this like a separate feature? I will be getting a Orange UK locked DHD soon!

You can choose to do Radio S-OFF, SuperCID and Sim unlock all at once, but the tool can also do just Sim Unlock.

Once you know what your doing, it takes 10 minutes max using the tools mentioned above.

SimUnlock
I want to unlock my Desire HD, but do as little 'messing-about' with the stock firmware as possible (i.e rooting, custom roms etc.). Would following your guide and just selecting 'SimUnlock' leave me with a ordinary DHD? (Except for the fact it would be unlocked haha)
Sorry if this is a silly question, I am a total newbie to this kind of thing.

If you call your carrier and tell them you're travelling overseas, they still charge you to unlock your device?

Hello there,
For the past few days I have been browsing through the XDA pages but was not able to locate the necessary information. May be I was looking under the wrong terms or key words.
Anyways, I have switched from iPhone to HTC Desire HD. I got it second hand and it has no SiM card. Basically, when I insert my uSiM it shows emergency call screen only.
I was browsing through XDA and as far as I got it I first need to activate the phone with the necessary sim card in order to unlock the phone. Is there possibility to `hactivate` the phone with no original sim.
And can you people help me to locate necessary information on the site?
Thanks a ton in advance!
Peace,

The recommended root method also sim-unlocks the phone, easy as pie.

Thanks!

I'm also interested in unlocking my wildfire s(3 UK). Any solutions yet?
Thank you!

No, and i think noone will now bother with unlocking wfs since bootloader is unlocked, roms can be flashed... thats what developers wanted...

try htcdev bootunlocker
you can then root your mobile
change rom
and everything
have s-on
stilll i have cwm , cm7.2 and having fun ..
go to htc dev go to bootloader and follow the simple instructions and you will have your device unlocked

AAHK is now retired and unsupported. You can still unlock the bootloader to flash a custom ROM.

Try oneclickroot, it's even working now.

[Q] Rooting HTC Desire HD

Hi All,
I am a noob or atleast newly registered to XDA but have resolved many issues over the years with your help so thank you very much for all your past help.
I have recently rooted my old htc desire without a blip, then dropped it and no amount of XDA help will resolve that issue, more rubbled than bricked...
I have an HTC Desire HD tied to orange that I want to root and flash Jellybean ROM (open to suggestion of a better ROM). Every step by step or guide I have found in a few hours of searching tells me to use AAHK but all links on all sites to the download result in a 'page no longer available' or redirect but not to a download page
I am nowhere close to truly understanding the technical side of rooting, I have a lot of respect for those that do, but I can follow directions. Without the actual software the directions don't lead anywhere so I'm at a frustrating stand still. Any help anyone can provide will be greatly appreciated.
I see people usually list some system info so here is mine
HTC Desire HD
Android 2.3.5
Sense 3.0
Kernel 2.6.35.10-g931a37e
[email protected] #1
build number 3.12.405.1 CL199157 release-keys
If anymore info is required I will get it on here asap and thanks for any help you give me, cheers

Lol.... I needed that. Been in a bad mood for nearly a week. I managed to refrain from replying a few posts today.
Sent from a dream.

sorry for the newbie question but ive little to no idea when it comes to this sort of thing.
my contract is up on my HD which is on Orange network & im now wanting to put it onto Tesco & after trying the sim inside the phone it will no longer take either sim & is saying ""SIM network locked please contact customer care"" so do i need to root the phone for this to work & will it also debrand it as i no longer want the orange crap on it anymore.
thanks. for any advice :good:

I know AAHK does SIM unlock as part of the process. Then you can flash an unbranded ROM.

thank you for the quick reply..
so if i do the AAHK i should get it to accept the Tesco card at least.? that's the main thing i'd like to unbrand it but its not really an issue as long as i can get it to work on tescos network..
i paid for it unlocking today & sent off my IMEI number but they emailed me saying it can not be unlocked..?
thanks.

Even if a phone is SIM unlocked, I believe the carrier can still lock the SIM card. So whether you can use the Tesco card is up to them.
