unlock sim on desire 816
I hope I'm posting in the proper place. Forgive me for being a newbee. I have an 816 set for Virgin Mobile but I want to change the carrier to MetroPCS. VG has given me the unlock code but I don't know what to do with it. The guy at Metro tried putting in a Metro SIM but it never prompted me for the code. VG is not helping. On reading about the 816 I learned that this phone has two SIM slots, one for CDMA and one for GSM. The slot for GSM is blocked by a small rubber thing, so you can't insert a SIM card. Can that thing be safely removed? Didn't want to force it. Looks like VG really wants me as a customer. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Even if you remove the sealing of the second sim slot, you can't insert another sim. You would have to manually replace the sim slots inside your device + add another board to get dual sim function. Also, you'll need superCid and the sunshine app.
All in all it would cost you almost the same as buying a new dual sim version.

Hi all
I'm new, and i'm glad to be a member of this great forum!
I've lot of confusion about the sim unlocking on my HTC Tattoo branded Orange.fr to my Wind SIM (italian)
After a series of research on google, i've understand that i've two options:
- The first one is buy a sim unlocker in a shop like Dealextreme
- The second one is root the Tattoo and install a ROM that doesn't have sim locking
But... i've some questions:
1. Have I well understand what i've to do?
2. It's better to have some crapy chinese unlocking stuff or doing some tricky hacking software procedure?
3. Wich ROM do u suggest me?
3.1 Is true that if i flash other roms i lose the radio and the camera?
3.2 Is it better use a rom based on android 1.6 or android 2.x? Why?
Thanks in advance for your help
matteios
Nobody can help me?
Tnx
Hi there
The debranded firmware on the Tattoo doesn't solve the unlocking issue.
We have one in store that is still waiting for a solution. To root/debrand is the same as the Hero, but the sim unlock code still doesn't get accepted after flashing. That's as far as i've got with it!
Unless something has occurred recently that i've missed that's all i can help with for now!

Now i've unlocked it by using the IMEI code, but even now can't i install a costum ROM on my HTC Tattoo?
Hi, I am planning on getting a desire today, it is cdma (doesn't use sim cards). I would like to know, is it possible to root it? if so, could you please give me a link to do it?
thanks
Yes, I believe you can root cdma. Should be a forum here.
Check for the Bootloader version - if it is the latest 1.06 or higher, then not yet.
Hello dear xda fellows
I bought a Bouygues Telecom (French provider) HTC desire in August 2010, and flashed it with :
ROM : Open Desire 4.10
Radio : 32.44
I called Bouygues Telecom to get a Sim Unlock Code, as my phone does not work with SFR. They told me my phone is already unlocked, which is possible as I got my phone at a shop which sells unlocked phones.
After doing some research I saw this HTC hero thread, which stands it can be a bug from using too recent radio.
Tried to flash with 32.43 but still the same : when I use SFR sim, I'm asked "Sim Network Unlock Code".
Any idea ? How can I be sure that my phone is actually blocked or not ?
Thank you very much for your help, xda is great.

Try using the sim unlock tool...a quick search should locate it.
That worked right away, amazing.
Cheers.

SIM UNLOCK - Desire HD on 2.3.3
Hello everyone
I am new to this XDA-DEVELOPERS forum hence don't know whether posting comment over here is correct or not. [Advice in case]
I am having HTC Desire HD on 2.3.3 which is SIM LOCKED on Softbank. I wish to know if there is any method to UNLOCK the phone without downgrading to Froyo [Android 2.2]
If anyone knows a good link on this site, please let me know.
There might be relative posts on this site i.e. SIM UNLOCK Desire HD on 2.3.3 but being new to this site, I don't want to create a new thread unnecessary.
Please try and understand.
Hope to have a reply from someone on this site/forum. Thanks in advance!!!
Best Regards,

Sorry to hijak, but guidogsbn - where did you get your M8 Dual SIM?
I live in thailand and ordered one from ebay - the model I got was the M8d - which appears to be CDMA Sim 1 and GSM Sim 2 - which is not what I need. I need Sim 1 and Sim 2 to be both GSM
I am told by the vendor that he has a solution to the problem and I need to send the phone back - but I dont believe there is any software solution to this and it means a complete change of device
So is your Dual sim both GSM? What is the model code on the device? Where did you buy it from - preferably website in english
Thanks
