Quick question,
I've rooted my dhd, running a custom rom. So does this mean I can use any carrier simcard or is there some other steps to do this? Its unbranded on orange UK
Thanks in advance

If your DHD is unbranded as you say, obviously you can use any carrier simcard
Cheers, I've never had to put a different sim in any of my phones so I didn't have a clue

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

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?
Hi,
I'm on the German O2, but I bought the phone from an eBay guy who had in turn bought it from T-Mobile Germany. The only sign of T-Mobile on the phone is the logo during boot. It is not SIM-locked and neither has any hardware branding.
Should I be able to see the update?
Probably not. It shows the T-Mobile screen when booting which means it is branded.

Thanks for the quick answer! I'll probably root my current version and then install the rooted update from this thread anyway:

Hi,
Does anyone has successfully unlocked a htc desire from orange switzerland with htccode??
I'm intending to sell my desire (and buy a N1). But before i do i'd like to unlock it for all carriers...
So any news about this would be very helpful.
Many thanks

Hi there
I bought an Orange branded phone off a friend but I'm using my Vodafone network sim. Will I get the Froyo updated over the air or must I use a gold card. I'm struggling to see why Orange would push the update to me.
Thanks in advance
Mike
I think you could still get the update. But if I were you is debrand the phone. You can find many guides by searching around.

Okay thanks.
Want to debrand as a last resort though - would have to buy new SD card, right?
Does anyone else know if I can get update normally?
Thanks
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.
