Please help me to unlock the phone... I try already like 1 month, nothing help.
Sry for my bad English i am from Latvia.....

Hi I would like to get a little help to unlock my
phone.
I tried to get an unlock code but it did not work.
I have now a custom rom and my phone is rooted.
I read that for UK people the rom change helped to
get the code accepted.
Should I try more roms or radio update?
Should I put somehow an unbranded ROM?
I think trying to buy more codes are useless
but maybe some compony has the right one...
My IMEI starts with 3578410
I sow on some unlock pages that for these
phone I have to pay more due to being in the newest database.
(htcgate)
I got from htccode the info that in this kind
of situations the provider lock back the phone.
They promise a cable solution from december...
I guess they can do it because there is something
in their rom, that's why I wanted to replace it...
I had no succes so far.
Thanks

Hi guys,
as much as i am an advancer user when it comes to doing stuff on android devices that with winMo i don't know what to do. I have read twice the reference thread with all the instructions but i am still lost, i don't understand everything. If someone could direct me to a IRC chat where someone could guide me step-by-step or someone is willing to spear some time and stay with me on a GTalk that would be awesome. Either way please direct me to someone, or a place where i could get a live help.
Thank you all in advance.

You haven't even asked a question here.
What are you trying to do?!?
uh Sorry
I am trying for the first time to change my ROM. I could read about HardSPL but in the guide there are something about some tickets from htc and some files from Microsoft website. Should i download it on my PC on my mobile how to flash it what to do with those files and this HTC thing. Generally how to bite these things. Do i have to be plugged in USB or no and so on so on.
I read it twice but i am still confused

HSPL you flash from ActiveSync. So get the phone sync'd, then run the HSPL installer (make sure you get the right one for your device!!)
Then, once you've flashed HSPL you can flash any ROM - either via SD or USB/ActiveSync.
ok that clears things up. Now the HSPL i get from htc website? and on the tutorial here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540 it says to download a file If you have Vista or Windows 7, update WMDC to v6.1 *HERE* first do i download this to my phone or pc and flash it with active sync?

You should probably go back to that thread and try clicking the *HERE* link...
Honestly the "Flashing via ActiveSync with USB Lead" is really quite straight forward.
yes i got that part now, i guess i must be tired so the information didn't go to my brain as they should.
I got the HSPL now successfully and would like to ask you a question.
What ROM would you recommend? I am currently browsing the thread with all the ROM's, as well as each separably.
Thank you very much for your help and mainly patience.

np, as with anything new take it slowly, one step at a time...
Anyhoo, I like EnergyROM - but I don't really use WinMo anymore. I love Android too much . I use the Titanium version of Energy so I can quickly get into Android. That's all WinMo is for me anymore... a place to launch Android.

Did you unlock the SIM slot?
I know on the RHOD400/500 there's a SIM unlocker tool. I don't know if it applies to other RHOD's or not...
Update:
"Q6. Is there a SIM Unlock tool (or any other kind of paid service / hack) available to make this phone compatible with the US GSM service providers?
A. YES YES YES! Olipro and Cmonex have made this happen for real. Works with all CDMA Rhodiums."
Only applies to the CDMA RHOD's it seems. The GSM-only variants shouldn't need the SIM slot unlocked in any way shape or form.
hi
so does that mean that i will be forever unable to receive and make calls?
I have tried with my o2 UK sim card and funny enough i have a data connection but not signal. I can browse internet and stuff but cannot make any calls. With my 3UK card i have nothing. No data No phone calls. Is there a way to fix it or i basically just **** my phone up by taking simlock off?
I got it on ebay and it was locked to Orange. Before i flashed ROM i put my sim and entered the code to unlock the sim. If that was a mistake is there a fix or patch to help me out?
Please help me.

So this is a GSM-only RHOD? RHOD100 I'd guess?
If so, there's no reason to unlock the SIM slot on the device itself AFAIK. You would only need to unlock the SIM card itself.
I'm by no means an expert here, but based on what I've read the only SIM slot that needs unlocking or is even unlock-able on the RHOD is the CDMA variants (which both have SIM slots for GSM as well).
Sorry, maybe someone with some more knowledge on the GSM variants will respond.
Yes it is RHD100,
Before reading your posts i have already unlocked my sim slot as i was trying to use my 3uk sim in orangeUK handset. Usually in all handsets so far that was the way to use different sims. If what you say is true what are my options now?
To bump up my thread and question
After not much luck trying to fix it i still have a device that have no signal.
I have tried ROMs Radios flashes and all i could think of.
i have checked and the only way for me to use my phone was to unlock it via unlock codes. But since that day i have no signal what so ever.
I am willing to send my phone to some one for repair if you think you have a clue.
If you have any ideas how i can do it on my own please let me know as well as i really would like to use this. I know it is old and stuff but still would be nice.
Anyhow if you need more answers or info of what i have tried and done do not hesitate to contact me or reply here.

You're sure the hardware supports the bands you require for your provider?
Like arrrghhh says if your Rhodium supports the frequency bands for the provider you are trying to use it on then it should work. I suggest you talk with your 3UK tech support and give them the model # and see if you need a specific type of sim card for it to work or any suggestions they might have.
HI,
Thanks for your input. I know that it used to work on Orange UK network before taking sim lock. Usually most of UK devices worked together, especially that 3 UK have a partner agreement to use Orange network if you loose 3 Network. So it should work. I will give them a call and report back.
Kirior
Edit:
So the guy said that because my sim works in other handsets it must be a software/hardware and sim issue. He could not check it more as it was not a 3 handset so they don't bother. They, as a network, used to have a agreement with all the network to roam between each other, so that would mean that freq are same in all UK. I am running out of options. Any one willing to fix/help with it?
Edit 2:
Went to an orange shop on my way to work and tried one of theirs sim card. Handset worked flawlessly. My guess now is something went wrong with unlock maybe, or my sim is really incompatible with handset. Any ideas how to resolve it?
Thx in advance.

So there's no problems with the device, the problem is with your SIM. Sort that out.

Yes i did, as well as automated process as soon as you enter new sim.

May be, but my sim works in all sort of different devices, it is just this one.
I was wandering as well, maybe if i would come back to stock RUU for Orange UK maybe than it would work? But i cannot seem to find it anywhere :/
My cousin gift to me a DHD A9191 by Vodaphone UK:
- First, I insert my SIM card then turn on the phone.
- After boot, the phone verify a new SIM card then is's ask for unlock code.
- I don't know what is unlock code, then I type some numbers, then is's ask more about password. I don't know about that again then I turn it off.
- After searched on Google, some body tell me that should factory reset to clear password. I did it.
- Then, it really clear password as I want, but the real trouble come...
- The phone can not verify the SIM card anymore, always say that: "No sim card on the phone" both way I inserted or not the SIM card.
- Then, I ask for Google again and I come here in the AAHK topic for root, unlock, ...etc
- I done as well, everything is okay, but is's still like before, can not verify the sim card. Phone network always disabled.
- I was not give up, I try more by recover a new rom CM7... nothing else!
- More, I flash it to stock with RUU rom 1.3... nothing else too.
- Then I try my last by "One click Radio S-OFF", done but nothing else too...
So now, I don't know how must I do to let it work ....
Please teach me some thing, thank you so much.
Sorry about my bad english. Have a good day,

nhatkhang17, that means that the phone is sim lock. Even if you used the Hack Kit (that leaves you sim unlock) that doesn't work with every carrier in the world. Some carriers have code locked sims and then you won't be able to use any sim.
If you try many times using incorrect codes, then the phone will be blocked and you will need to buy an usb unlock code.
Stop flashing everything at arm length or you will mess your phone...flashing a different rom or returning to stock won't change that. If you don't have signal then put the sim cover on..
So I can't do anything for it? So sad...
I did search on Google and they said that XTC clip tool can unlock sim, can it resolve my trouble?
Try this site...I bought the code to unlock my inspire from them and I know that they sell that tool, so just ask them...

Hello,
I bought a second hand HOX last week. It was sold to me as unlocked from operator SFR (Vodaphone France, or CID VODAP203).
I bought an unlocking code from an internet shop, tried it, didn't work... I went into a shop specialized in unlocking phones they could not make it provider free...
So I went on to this forum. Plenty of nice things, and as I already rooted an Android tablet from TOSHIBA (FOLIO100), I tried a few things.
It appears that my phone is rooted. When I boot in bootloader it says "UNLOCKED", and it is also S-OFF!!! I am able to change the CID as much as I want, and I have set it to "11111111". As such I was told on a french forum that any SIM Card from any provider should work, but it doesn't...
I have been able to install Jelly Bean from one of the ROM developpers, thinking (and this is where I am a noob) that I will clear the part of the system that tells it is locked to one provider... Of course it didn't do anything more, or different than telling me it doesn't work on any provider.
I went back to stock from Vodaphone France, and came to you in order to get some instructions or link to have on working on another network than the vodaphone one...
Thanks in advance for your help,
Alain
First off, it's great you have an S-OFF handset. You are lucky about that.:good:
On the other hand, unlocking bootloader doesn't have anything to do with SIM locks. So, whatever you did (as you experienced it yourself) doesn't work.
I suggest you search over here, because I know for sure there is a way to unlock SIM lock on HOX. I didn't have to do it, as mine was already unlocked (or SIM free, I can't tell now).
Don't worry, you'll find the way, just be patient.
A bientot!
Yeah everyone told me it was great to have it S-OFF, although I don't know what it can do for me... I guess this would be great for developpers ?
I hope I won't have to go through several unlock code providers...
S-OFF is giving you advantage in being able to flash any ROM, any RUU, any HBOOT, any radio... Good not only for developers.
Back to topic - I suggest you visit some mobile phone service, and pay ONLY after they finish the work. I guess there are whole lot of frauds online,, that would take you money for the "unlock code", and not care if it doesn't work.
I repeat, be patient, and keep searching. Here's what I found (you can do the same search yourself):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1654075
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25341694&postcount=71
it cost me a whole £2.79 to get mine unlocked.
I bought the code from ebay inserted an un supported sim and entered the code when asked. That's the main reason actually why I've stuck with HTC they are so easy to un lock

Mate, nowadays most phones are unlocked through pw.... code. Usually, you get it for specific handset (IMEI and operator), and just type it in as you did.
BTW, Samsung Galaxy SIII is even easier to unlock - by an apk from Google Play Store.
Hello,
I went through one of Unlock Code providers that [email protected]|-|oR provided me through his links...
I had the exact same unlock code as the one I got in France... that doesn't work. But the guys were really professional, in reimbursing my money as they could not unlock my phone.
The strangest thing is that they asked me if the phone is rooted, and said that this is why I cannot SIM Unlock, because it is rooted... I reverted by to stock, and re-locked the phone but the result is still the same, it stays stuck to SFR...
I hope a solution will come out in the form of an application such as the one for Galaxy III, it looks so easy to do.
Have a good evening,
Alain
Hi my phone was branded by orange and obviously had a simlock what did with my hox and many others before is:root the phone ,get recovery,then flash custom rom and all that branded garbage with simlock is gone.I've done it before with galaxy S,S2,now with my hox. Don't never ever buy any codes online.

Hello,
I already did that, (root, flash customer ROM), but simlock is still here... only thing I didn't change is recovery, but it is 5.8.xxx (aka I think it is the latest).
Can you guide me rapidly in return ?

SIM unlock is totally separate from rooting.
