Wildfire Unlocking

Hi Guys
Apologies - am new to Android and Wildfire... (but veteran Windows Mob). Has anyone created a way of unlocking Wildfire's to run on any network yet?
Yours

Indeed - Gah! t-mobile seem to ruin any decent rom with their tat that is supposed to be helpful but really just bloats the rom and boot time.
I hear there are a few subscription services you can use to unlock but will need to wait a few weeks til the codes are posted (my phone is almost brand new).
Does anyone have a software unlock yet for any other droid phone? (not sure if things work the same a Windeaux phones with hard SPLs etc... ?

Does it start? Or blocks t-mobile the startup with the wrong simcard?
I have a wildfire from vodafone germany and use it with a o2- card.
The only issue I had was the network connection. Simply typed in the right apn an now it works fine.

is there any way to unlock it?
because it tried one of those unlock sites,but they couldn't. at least they refunded my money.

Wouldnt one of those gold cards work with the wildfire?

I tried a few places before I found someone that could unlock my WF. It was on 3 and, apparently, the codes have changed from May this year so I could not get a code from one of the cheaper (£15) places.
I ended up paying £23.50 from mobileunlocked.co.uk, but got the code within a couple of minutes

Doesn't rooting the phone and flashing a new rom like WildPuzzle solve the problem or the protecion is stored in another location?

It will proberly solve the problems.
i could make an radio unlock zip for ppl to flash then phone is rooted. will add one to wildpuzzlerom realy soon.
*EDIT*
Just updated WildPuzzleROM with an radio from WWE. maybe this will unlock some phones!

kurva onjad! i realy thought that would work.
Okey will try to think out something else.

Hi. I tried the whole process and I'm still locked on Vodafone (Romania) as 2ma is. If anybody can help on this one, will be more than thankful
What's the point of having a smartphone if you can not use it

I want to buy one from Telstra Australia as they are heaps cheaper but I need to be able to unlock it.
Would love software to unlock, I wish I could help in some way.

hi, i've a wildfire in SFR but i'm in Bouygues Télécom so i can unlock this with a website and code for 28€ and now i can use with every operator ^^
So i can take if you need the website

Unlocked Wildfire
Hy
I'm just one of many Wildfire owners bought from Vodafone Romania, who CANNOT unlock their phones nowhere because Vodafone changed the original factory codes with new ones.!
They charge us with 50 euro/phone just to push the unlocking code! Outrageous!
So if someone gifted with the knowledge can find a way-software or magic-- to unlock it, than you in advance!
best regards
Chris

Hi,
No news to unlock a Bouygues widfire ?
Thanks.

Take it to your carrier. They should be able to unlock it (or a phone unlock shop)

wildfire unlock - london (streatham)
as far as I know tilll now, there is no free software to unlock it.
contact your operator, they may be able to do it for free or a small free.
or you can unlock by code. it costs about £15-£20 on ebay it's the easiest way to get it done.
or you can bring it to local phone shop (like myself) where we can unlock it cheaper + can do the S-Off or debrand stuffs too

Where can I find/buy unlock codes?

Vodafone swapped my unlocked phone to a locked one !

Hi,
I sent my one X back to Vodafone in the UK as it had a screen fault.
It went as an unlocked one that had the latest update (Sense 4.1 etc) but they have swapped it for one that says there is no update available (even though it's one Sense 4.0 etc) and has loads of Vodafone apps on that my old one didn't.
Is there any way I can unlock it and get the updates etc ?
Would I have to root to do that ?
Should I just send it back (again) and ask for an unlocked version ?
Thanks for any help,

Presumably I could flash a stock ROM and get back to where I was ?
Will that network unlock the phone as well ?
Just a bit nervous about warranty etc.
Sound like I made a mistake and should have sent it back directly to HTC.

you can yeah, you'll have to unlock bootloader etc from scratch.
i don't think it will network unlock the phone.
warranty will still be fine, if you bought it from vodafone, then your warranty is with them, they actually have their own repair center, so they don't rely on htc. aside from the fact its a branded handset, it probably was better you sent it to vf, as htc have a habit of sending back phones un repaired.

HTC One X won't accept sim unlock code

I have had two companies give me the same unlock code which does not work. Is it a problem with the phone or a problem with the code?
Both say factory reset the phone but this has some issues I think, sometimes I get a red triangle or it reboots very quickly without resetting from the rom.
Phone is sim locked to Three UK (who have stopped fixing the phone directly and HTC won't look at it as its been boot loader unlocked)
Can anyone help with this if so, give full instructions and files needed. Thanks in advance.
P.S. it would be nice if a debranded rom could be installed.

ARe you on STOCK rom and stock recovery. If no go to full stock

I had the same problem on my One X locked on Orange Romania. It seems some GSM operators change the factory unlock codes. The only way to unlock it would be to have a buddy working at the GSM Operator or wait until the phone gets out of contract. I was unable to unlock mine.

yes I'm on full stock rom.

OK so I have got the code from Three UK and it is the same as the the others and does not work.
Does anyone think it is because the boot loader has been unlocked?
HTC support chat reckon thats the problem

It shouldn't, I believe I had the same problem but I was on AOSP, I had to put a stock ROM on for sure.
It could be worth locking it to see though, it's not the biggest pain in the ass!
If no joy, Im out of ideas... sorry mate!
Good luck

My phone has this stock Rom already on it.. I would have to try putting another stock Rom on it. It it possible to put a standard unbranded stock Rom on it instead of HG3?

As far as I know ofcourse you can

OK I have put another H3G stock rom on and this does not work either.
After looking into this further I have found somewhere that if the phone is a replacement one or something was changed from manufacturer and providers with regards to databases for unlock codes then the one provided may not work.
Well my phone went into the service centre and they fixed it but stated after testing they decided to change the mainboard. I suspect because it was originally a CID 1111111 with S-OFF(unbranded as HTC described it) as it was delivered first day they came out. Rush job to get to market and didn't get branded to H3G_001 and S-ON I suppose.
Anyway I suspect that because the main board has been changed the the unlock code has also changed and not been documented or changed on the database for the codes. So they are providing me with the original code not the new one and the letter for the fix state IMEI code previous and new the same, so they must have just reprogrammed that and forgot about the unlock code.
Is there a way to read these off the phone, NVR or something?

I am with Orange or EE and I have tried to flash a stock rom with stock recovery and relocked bootloader and nothing has worked. I have paid 2 companies for the unlock code which is the same code and nothing works I am so frustrated might have to leave htc. This is ridiculous I am on 3.16.61 and my cid is orang001

I'm going elsewhere on my next phone too. HTC support use the bootloader unlock as a get out of jail free card.

Just to kick this up I've had the exact same problem (this time with t-mobile) 3 companies and EE all with the same code, all refused by the phone.
Heart breaking really.
Is there no hardware method to get the code or an alternative sim unlock out there?

[Q] Is it possible to unlock the US/Virgin Mobile Desire 816

Hi, I have the Virgin Mobile 816. I am wondering if I could unlock the network so that I could use the sim from other operators, like AT&T or Verizon.
Thanks!

Not possible. This model only works on Virgin Mobile.

Never say never. I will not rest until it is possible. SPCS won't keep me down. I was a loyal customer for ten years and they screwed me over. I want the phone, but not them. Back in the day they said my Photon was on a version that couldn't be modified to GSM, but that didn't stop some of us from making it work.
I just wish I'd have picked a phone that had more development time with the true devs.

I checked with Virgin Customer care if they can unlock, they told me that they cannot give MSL code as it does not satify the conditions. But i was searching all the forum and able to get the MSL code from the MSL utility.apk, but I am not sure how to unlock the GSM with the MSL, I was able to enable ##3424# but dont know further process.
I am sure someone would be able to unlock it soon and share the process. Lets wait for some more time:fingers-crossed:

i understand i may need to change the CID/MID to get it to work.
i really need the 5.0 version for my dual sim phone but the update is not working.

Most likely not. The dual SIM models have different partition sizes then the VM variant, and it will probably hard brick your device.
Scratch that, flashing any RUU not meant for YOUR phone has a 99% chance of hard bricking your phone. So I really don't want to see you with a busted phone...

Many Thanks

T-Mobile charge £20. Also, reading on the internet, many are having probs getting the code from T-Mobile - waiting months and when code arrives does not work, etc... Don't really want to go through all this hassle with T-Mobile and also pay them £20 to mess me around.
Is there any way to network unlock the HOX without a code ???

Take it to a t-mobile store

I was on T-Mobile UK and sim unlocked it the day I bought the phone. The code worked on stock ROM. I'm using the phone on Vodafone now.
