As the title says i am wondering if i can sim unlock this mobile phone as im a starter in this part of xda i dont know much about this particulr model .
I have a htc desire z bought from vodafon romania and i want to know if i can do anything for free if not please recommend me a good unlocking site .
Thnakyou .
if you go through the proper rooting procedure, you get sim unlock + S-ID off to go with it as well
The full guide is in the XDA Wiki. Yes, you can SIM unlock for free.

Find the gfree method in the wiki. They explain it well there and its easy to do. I did it to mine. You can also just unlock without rooting (but why would you do that?)

I actually called T-mobile (which I cancelled the service months ago) and they gave me the SIM unlock code. It worked perfect. As long as your account was in good standing when you cancelled or ended the contract with them.

Hey Guys,
I just received my G2! I am based in Australia and did not buy directly from T-Mobile. Is there likely to be a method for unlocking the phone ourselfs on this forum?
My other option is to purchase an unlock code.
Regs,
Kit
My suggestion is too call T-Mobile USA and request an unlock code, it's free but might take about 7 days to get the code.
I am interested if all works well for you. I will be moving to Australia and I am on the fence to either buy a Iphone 4 or a G2 for use in Australia.
Sorry to bump this? How did this work out?
You know that you can just unlock the phone yourself for free with GFree, right? You can also root the phone while your at it in one go.
Ya, you can fully unlock your phone using gfree. Do you know how to use adb?

look at subsidy unlock in the wiki

Other than unlock codes, I cannot really suggest any other solution. Having been in the telecommunications industry for a few years now, I have learned that unlock codes are the only genuine way of unlocking phones.
I would find someone with good feedback on eBay, or if you were looking for a free solution (if you are willing to do a bit more to get it), I have had success with freeunlocks.com. But in the end, choose a reputable site, with lots of feedback and good support, to avoid the risk of bricking your phone (although I believe the G2 can't be bricked by entering too many codes, but not 100% sure).
Or just follow the guides here, carrier like tmobile will give you the unlock code free if you meet certain criteria. I was gonna get it that way cuz I met their criteria. But ended up doing this first lol
Hi guys,
I plan to buy a HTC Wildfire for my brother but unfortunately, the phone is Network Locked.
Is there any change we have a program or something that would unlock it for free?
I really don't trust the sites a la : www.unlockyourphone.com ... and Vodafone won't unlock it for free.
Thanks and really looking for an answer.
Best Regards,
DH
I bought mine from Vodafone and they unlocked it for free, on the spot. I did not extend my contract with them, I just bought the phone.
P.S: I`m from Romania.

If u are in the uk, get it from somewhere like carphone (all their phones are unlocked and debranded) or sim free from expansys
Did you manage to unlock your phone? I also have a Vodafone romania locked wildfire and don't know what to do about it. Thanks.
Vodafone unlock contract sims for free.
Will only unlock free paygo if the older than 1 year.
You'll have to pay.
I used htccode. No problems.

I am with Vodafone on 30 days contract sim only and I bought my wildfire on pay as you go. I phoned customer services and they unlocked for me free of charge.

Free Unlocking is not possible to get for the Latest Phones,So i suggest you to get the paid unlock code to unlock the Phone from Network lock,that is best than using the Unlocking programs and software......You can get the Unlock code from here
Mobileunlocksolutions.com and unlock this is trust-able source..............

Hi you can unlock your mobile by unlock codes and for codes you can try Mobileunlocksolutions and get codes to unlock your mobile..
Hy guys,
First time writing on the forum. I'm from Romania and i have an HTC wildfire locked on vodafone .
I bouught a code from gsmliberty.net...and and and..nope it didn't work...i spent last 3 days chating with them and leaving tickets to the suport team but not any luck iuntill now.
The thind is that after i insert the unlock code under the sim unlock pin message ..it apears an error message that says "incorrect password".
Now..i'ce checked the security under settings and deselect every password that i found including here SIM pass , unlock password , unlock path...everithing i could...but still nothing
Could enyone give me a piece of advice ?
Thank's in advance
For now i cannot say "Sent from my HTC Wildfire"

Complete lie. Both the HTC Desire and the HTC Desire Z can be sim unlocked for free.
Its a shame noone has dedicated some time as there problably is a free way for the Wildfire as well.
We need a version for wildfire
there is a tool "Universal sim unlock for S-off’ed HTC devices" but it doesn't work for wildfire, maybe a hope for the next future, look at sieempi dot eu blog
Doesn't the HTC dev website give you an unlock code for free?

as far as i know htc dev will only allow for custom roms to be used and custom recovery to be put on. will not remove sim lock, carriers would go nuts if it did.
Yes it says in the frequently asked questions that radio and sim lock are still locked and it will still say s on, sim lock is a carrier issue if they unlocked it carriers would kick off as they wouldn't be able to use they're branding effectively.
And radio still being locked might cause problems for cm7 users.

I heard that you could call your carrier to give you the code to unlock your phone, but 3 wouldn't do it unless the phone was on another network and I was joining them. I'm on o2 and wanted to remove 3'a Sim lock, but no joy. could have tried my carrier to.

i went to a phone unlocking shop and they did it there and then for a tenner. also, if you can get your hands on a xtc clip you can s-off and remove sim lock
Is there any other way to unlock an HTC HD 7 without using Chevron?
Yes, Via IMEI unlock
Can you post instructions for a free or very cheap method of doing this? I have 2 HTC HD7 phones from T-Mobile, but am not a customer with them anymore and they will not provide the unlock codes unless I sign up for service with them again.
I want to use the devices with AT&T now.

can get the cheapest code on ebay, it will be around $18-$22
i'm not a really pro developer but i suspected those bugs before.. finally a real developer suspected that.. eager to see who's going to help fixing them
call tmob and tell them your going to europe and u need your phone unlocked.
I can unlock and root both of them with my XTC clip. Contact me at xmoddz.com or pm if interested. Although this requires you ship them to me
find someone that has tmobile account and ask them to request an unlock for your phone
Try google

So far I have tried everything to get this phone sim-unlocked. I bought this phone from Mexico cell phone provider Telcel but I haven't had the best luck in sim-unlocking this phone.
I have tried celfservices and cellunlocker to unlock my phone but couldn't.
Does anyone know any other website that can potentially sim-unlock this phone. Or any other method to get it to work on other cell providers.
Contact Alejandrissimo or Blagus. They'll unlock the bootloader for something like $25. Unlocking the bootloader implies that the phone gets sim-unlocked as well. Alejandrissimo is Mexican, so he'll probably be able to help you even further with Telcel's misdeeds.
Cellunlocker? That's where I unlock 2 phones for 8$ each.. I dunno what did you do to make it not work for you, they will just give you an unlock code and enter to your phone with sim of your choice..
Oh well as logseman said, just try to contact those person if you also want to unlock your bootloader.. Goodluck..
I bought the phone brand new so I didn't do anything to it. Oh well I rooted the phone, but that's about it.
Cellfservices told me unlock code couldn't be found and refunded my money. And the website I just got an email from paypal that they refunded and that's it. No explanation.
Wells thanks everyone. I will try to ask him for help.

* cellunlocker was the second website I tried ,but paypal just send me an email about a full refund. So I am guessing they couldn't do it either.

Can't you unlock it on www.htcdev.com?
I don't think he means the bootloader, I think his handset is carrier branded.
I'm not too sure on how to do it myself, if there is a way I think Mike1986 or Football might know.
I got my branded hox unlocked by http://www.mobileunlocked.co.uk/ it cost £11.99 and took 20 mins

Plus if we had the xtc clip & Goldcard we'd have achieved S-off by now...
Ring T mobile and request an unlock code, I don't think they can refuse by law, they will charge you around 15 quid.
1. Is your bootloader unlocked?
2. Are u running a custom rom?
If you have even 1 of these as fare as I'm aware u have to be on stock for the unlock to work. espeshaly if your getting the same code time and time again.

Here many services are available to unlock your HTC one x.You can get the unlock code from the site Simpleunlocking.com here they ask your phone's IMEI number.If you give them,then they deliver unlock code to you. You can unblock your phone by using this unlock code.

If you on contract with them it's free and even if your on pay as you go its free. You can use any website to get an unlock code and use that as well.
I re locked my bootloader as it wouldn't let me do it unlocked and custom

Are you sure it's free on Three? Every time I've asked them, they've quoted £15.32 in store and through phone calls to unlock. And the only info I can find on the website, claims pretty much the same: http://support.three.co.uk/srvs/cgi...sername=Mobile:mobileUser?s_search=helpsearch
Probably would be cheaper from somewhere else though.
It would be a lot cheaper elsewhere but I know they had to give my sister an unlock code for the i9000. But I'm sure I read somewhere as well in the UK there not aloud to sell simlocked phone but if they do there abliged to give you the unlock code.
Best thing to do is check citizens advice website if you don't want to pay for it to see if the info is true. I only heard it through the grapevine, but what's £3-5 to get an unlock code its a lot cheaper than i****e unlock cides
