Hi there,
I wonder if I unlock bootloader, root and flash a RUU or a custom ROM will sim unlock my WFs locked on Vodafone ?
Searching forums for "sim unlock" doesnt helepd. Sorry for noob question.
Cheers,
Alex
It won't, you'll need a XTC Clip to sim unlock.
Thanks for fast answer.

can anyone tell me how to de-brand a wildfire s and direct me to the correct file i need
thanks
first of all you need to know if your wildfire s is s-off or s-on, if its s-on forget debranding for the moment it can not be done... there are tools very close to being available to help to bypass the s-on such as alpharev x. please note.. the gingerbreak app does not work with s-on but will work with s-off so you wont have any problem rooting with gingerbreak with s-off... after you have rooted there are plenty of discussions on here to help you installing custom roms and ruu,s hope this helps a little..
thanks the comment but its an o2 with a 3 sim in it
does not matter what sim you have fitted, unlocked to other networks dont alter the fact that if you need to debrand from the 02 bloatware you still need to have the phone s-off.. before it can be debranded/rooted.. ulocked to other networks does not mean that its ulocked for you to debrand.... two seprate issues.. maybe reading your post wrong buddy but as i understand i am thinking you have wires crossed from debranding and network unlock and thinking because its network unlock its s-off.
hi people, i have a vodafone branded htc desire hd, however i followed all instructions managed to goldcard, downgrade from 2.5 something to 1.32, i temprooted, rooted and then installed eng off and s-off. finally i installed revolution hd, however my phone is still locked to vodafone! all the root was correct, and in the bootloader says ACE PVT ENG S-OFF and also CID is 11111111.
ive searched everywhere and still cannot find an answer. please help me, many thanks in advance
Rooting your device (even flashing a custom rom) does not unlock it.
Okay, I was under the impression that rooting and s-off and eng-off would unlock the phone, can you please give guidance on how to do this I've searched everywhere, many thanks

To sim unlock your device, you need the unlock code. Either get it from your service provider (Free but they hardly give it out) or get it from some website (paid but usually get it quickly. Just make sure it's a trusted site).
Okay I will look into it, when I used the s-off easy tool, one of the options was sim unlock? Thanks for getting back to me anyway

Did you select that option?
yes i selected the top option which was radio s-off, supercid and simunlock. i thought that would of unlocked the phone but im not too sure now?
run the radio off tool again ...ofcourse it unlocks the phone no need for any codes and no need to pay it all can be done free when you follow the steps as i did mine not long ago

HTC has released a unlocked bootloader for your carrier
you just have to register on HTC dev..
and follow the instructions...
http://www.htcdev.com/
then you can find tools here to unlock radio and sim here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857537&highlight=unlock+branded+htc+desire+hd
DO NOT USE THE HTC DEV METHOD. Use the ace hack kit and be done with it. A search would have found this for you

unlocking bootloader is different thing with unlocking network...
so if you just unlocking your bootloader is not mean you had already unlocking your network..
if you wanna unlocking your network phone..then you can using AAHK2 script method..this is a simple method will debrand / unlocking sim network of your phone, also unlocking and s-off your phone bootloader too..
you can look further more in here..and just read a carefully step by step and requirement for running that script..
hope this can help..
Is there a way to sim unlock my phone without s-off? im on cm 12 rom and s-on
Hey guys, i am about to buy an M8.
I red something about htc sunshine. What is that ? Does this mean that i have to pay to use custom roms ? Please explain me
For most people, there is no need to use Sunshine to install a custom ROM.
You just need to unlock bootloader thru htcdev.com and install TWRP recovery to install ROM.
You need Sunshine only when you have a Verizon device because you can't unlock it with htcdev.com
You also may need Sunshine if you have a SIM locked to certain carrier device and you need to SIM unlock it to use with other carrier SIM.
If you're buying a unlocked device (International GSM), not necessary at all for Sunshine.
