hi all ...
i really searched on forum...but no result..
is there any free solution to unlock this mda..?
thanx a lot...
Then you havent looked well. CID can be unlocked with free software (using ispl everytime you flash a new rom) but SIM unlock istnt available for free. Search the posts and youll find out.
device unlock is available just lock for pof's USPL
do you need sim unlock? i thought sim unlock is same as CID unlock!!!

CID is a country lock. SIM is an operator lock. Different stuff
CID-Lock locks the device to ROMs that are only from the same country.
e.g.: You have a German PDA which is CID Locked... The PDA will accept German ROMs, but it won't accept English ROMs.
SIM-Lock locks the device to one operator.
e.g.: You have a German T-Mobile PDA. Your phone will only accept German T-Mobile SIM cards. Sometimes it even matters if it's locked to a postpaid or prepaid card. (for example: older Vodafone NL phones which have been given with a contract won't accept Vodafone NL prepaid cards even though the MCC+MNC (service provider network code) of both operators are 20404.)
Guys I'm over in Europe and attempting to use a vodaphone SIM, I'm running NRG's ROM and radio 4.49.25.17.
T-Mobile had kindly provided the SIM unlock code for my TP2 prior to my trip but when I put in the Vodaphone SIM it doesn't prompt me for an unlock code?
Do I need to manually enter it somewhere?
I think its supposed to prompt you with a screen asking for the code, make sure the Vodafone sim is properly inserted and if that doesn't work you can try looking up the phones engineering mode.
Is the device booting into Windows Mobile & usable with the other SIM card installed? Where did you buy it? Sounds like it may be unlocked already. Anytime I put the wrong SIM in a locked device, on boot up I would get a message for the unlock code & device was unusable, would not progress past this screen. You had to either enter the unlock code or reset & remove the SIM card.
First, check if your device is unlocked by going to Start>Settings>System>Device Info and on one of the tabs, it should say unlocked somewhere. Or, you can check it by downloading ATCommander onto your device and entering [email protected]?40 into ATCommander. It should return 0 if you're unlocked. If it returns 1, you're SIM locked.
Now, if you are still locked, try flashing the Stock Tmobile USA ROM, and insert the Vodafone SIM then. Hopefully, a dialog should come up with an area to enter you unlock code. On the Kaiser, you supposedly had to be running the stock AT&T ROM in order to get the dialog unlock the device with an unlock code. Hopefully that will work. If not, TMobile tech support could probably answer this. Hope that helps
Hi, I have a vodafone sim locked htc one x with stock android 4.2.2 with sense 5, bootloader locked, non rooted.
I think that it's locked to vodafone uk, but I'm not sure, currently I'm using it in Hungary with a vodafone hungary sim card.
The operator does not provide the sim unlock code for this phone.
I have purchased an online sim unlock code wich was unfortunately not accepted by the phone.
I have inserted a sim card from a different operator, entered the sim unlock code, but the code was not accepted.
I've got a refund for the non working code, but my problem still remains: I want to sim unlock my phone.
I have contacted several other companies that sell sim unlock codes, but they all provided me with that same code, and told me that it should work with stock android 4.1, wich I don't have and I don't want to unlock the bootloader, because I need the official warranty.
So, no code from the operator, provided code does not work, bootloader unlock is not an option.
What can I do to sim unlock my phone?
vodafone changes the sim unlock code, i've seen this on other htc phones, if you can't find a solution on xda, the codes bought from other sites will not work.
Hy All,
I'm from Romania but I bought a Fire phone 64 gb, locked on T-mobile Germany, not from Amazon but from a Telekom shop.
I take it because of good price and also to try and test if will work on Telekom Romania network...it desn't work... but i was also prepared to buy the unlocking network code, and also bought that trough a friend....also updated to OS 3.6.6
Meanwhile, when i was in stand by to receive the unlocking code I inserted a romanian carrier sim card...input pin....the phone request the unlocking code...inserted a couple of times the numbers wrong...after dismiss and played trough menus..camera....after i closed the phone in waiting the unlocking code.
The code was send it to me after paying to T-mobile Germany ....and very excited open the phone to insert the code.....but now the phone is requesting the PUK code, instead of network unlocking code....I input the PUK code from sim card...phone says "unable the unlock the PUK"....it is normal not to be able to unlock the PUK because is still locked on T-mobile....and I figured out when insert the network unlocking code wrong for couple of times, the phone will block permanentrly the sim card.
I made it a factory reset, but after insert other carrier sim card the phone still asking for the PUK code and is not able to unlock the sim by PUK.
I have the phone...the unlocking code....good sim card....but i cannot proceed to insert the unlocking code because i played and inserted wrong...i think i am the only stupid in world who made this
Someone can help me with a solution? some combination of buttons...some hide menu to enter and insert the unlocking code?
Maybe if I will buy a T-mobile Germany sim card with activated roaming....insert sim....enter the PUK code of that sim, phone will be able to unlock that PUK protection over the network, and after insert another carrier sim will be able to input the unlocking code?
Regards and hope someone can help.

same problem here
Please help us.
First remove the romanian sim card from the fire phone and insert it any other UNLOCKED phone than try the change the sim pin code with your sim puk numbers. After that remove the sim pin request from the simcard than put it on your fire phone and try to unlock process again.

Hy All,
Long silence..because of work.
So... i send it back to Germany to test the method who was adviced from Telekom call center...I have talked with the support team from Telekom Germany and it seems to solve the problem it is must to insert an plan (abonament) sim card ( not working with a pre pay sim card) from the network who is locked ...it doesn't matter of who have the plan sim...one of your friend or in a shop...and it must be insert the PUK code of that sim and it remove this locking and registering to theyr system, and after will be able to insert any sim card and insert the unlocking code...this is what they told me on the phone...
They have tried and inserted several times an abonament sim card....same problem...but i think they and also people from Telekom shops are out of this space with technics/phones.... all tell me not working...now wait to send in service...maybe they reinstall the software.
Someone tried the method described above by the user "ease_the_pain" or an hard reset (vol. up + vol. down + on/off button in the same time)?
Maybe a hard reset will make the phone to start from beginning with unlocking request... if someone will make the phone work after hard reset please leave message asap...i want to avoid to send the phone in service and tell to my friends to send back to me..
Thx and Regards
Solved
Problem solved...Phone replaced with a new one.... new unlock code now exploring phone and settings....and apps
Hello.
I'm from Portugal and bought an HTC 10 wich is locked to T-Mobile.
Already got unlock code for it but i insert a portuguese network sim card and i never get the message to place the unlock code.
I checked the IMEI at T-Mobile website and it shows : Your device is blocked and will not work on T-Mobile’s network.
Already unlocked the bootloader and rooted the phone, thought that would be enough to overcome the T-Mobile app ( wich is to unlock the phone for the network ).
Any tips or comments on how i can solve this issue and use the phone with another sim card?
Thanks in advance
